1UP Previews: Naruto: Ultimate Ninja 3

"The Ultimate Ninja series is best known for its over-the-top gameplay, featuring fast and visceral 2D combat, large multitiered stages based on key locations in the story, and aesthetics marrying the bold visuals of the manga with the clean, clinical look of the anime. With two games under the series' belt, it's not surprising that the upcoming Ultimate Ninja won't be drastically different than its predecessors and risk polarizing its core fans; rather, it looks to build on the series' foundation."
